Lord Mahavira (599 B.C. - 527 B. C.), also known as Vardhamana, was the twenty-fourth and last Tirthankara of Jainism. He was born in 599 B.C. at Kshatriyakund which was a part of the well known Vaishäli republic - a district in the modern Indian state of Bihar. His father's name was King Siddhärtha and his mother's name was Queen Trishalä. They were very religious people and were followers of Lord Pärshvanäth. Queen Trishalä had fourteen dreams (some believe sixteen dreams) when she conceived Lord Mahavira. While she was pregnant, the prosperity of King Siddhärtha grew. The parents attributed their success to the baby. So when the baby was born, he was named Vardhamana, which means continuously increasing. Discuss this in Forums

Which of the following famous Philosophers once famously said 'Man is a political animal'?

Aristotle (b. 384 - d. 322 BCE), was a Greek philosopher, logician, and scientist. Along with his teacher Plato, Aristotle is generally regarded as one of the most influential ancient thinkers in a number of philosophical fields, including political theory. Aristotle was born in Stagira in northern Greece, and his father was a court physician to the king of Macedon. Aristotle's famous words 'man is by nature a political animal' have attracted widespread debate and controversy for centuries. Standing the test of time, the statement draws on the uncomfortable debate surrounding individualism and collectivism, ringing uncomfortably in the ears of those who believe in 'every man for himself'.

Syrinx is the name for the vocal organ of birds. Located at the base of a bird's trachea, it produces sound without the vocal chords of mammals. The sound is produced by vibrations of some or all of the membrane tympaniformis (the walls of the Syrinx) and the pessulus caused by air flowing through the Syrinx. This sets up a self-oscillating system which modulates the airflow creating the sound. The muscles modulate the sound shape by changing the tension of the membranes and the bronchial openings.
